Rendered in confident black linework on white ground, this small study isolates a rounded, almost architectural face reduced to its barest semiotic components: two asymmetric eye-marks that refuse symmetry, and a heavily worked mouth - the sole zone of tonal density - where layered strokes accumulate into something between a smirk and a grimace. The vertical mark below the chin introduces spatial ambiguity, suspending the head in an indeterminate ground.
